HOTA and the price of organ trading- Who Pays?

Last Tuesday, NUS DSC had a fruitful discussion session with A/Prof Goh Lee Gan from Med Faculty on Human Organ Transplant Act (HOTA). Prof Goh covered the background on HOTA and Chronic Kidney Disease. Prof Goh also highlighted 3 case studies to succintly highlight his points.

After the Presentation, there was a lively discussion forum where the participants discussed on the possible exploitation of organ trading, the benefits of organ trading, the social cost which might arise as a result of the organ trade and how it will affect society’s values and ethical considerations.
